ABOUT ME
Hey there, I am Dan, 24 years old student from the Czech Republic. I study finance at the University of Economics in Prague, currently visiting the University of Washington in Seattle as an exchange student. I love swimming and going to a cinema. I am interested in history, sociology and psychology (neuroscience and topics of mind and brain in general), philosophy, technology, science in general (big fan of sci-fi movies), mysticism and languages. I like to discuss everything free of prejudice. I smile all the time :)

PHILOSOPHY
"My foes will become nothing.
My friends will become nothing.
I too will become nothing.
Likewise all will become nothing.
Just like a dream experience,
Whatever things I enjoy
Will become a memory.
Whatever has passed will not be seen again."

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

"The only true voyage of discovery, the only fountain of Eternal Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to behold the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to behold the hundred universes that each of them beholds, that each of them is." - Marcel Proust
